Diwali is a Reason for Celebration

Why Give Sweets During Diwali?

Diwali is a reason for celebration and party. It means a start of a new year, according to Hinduism. Thus, people prefer giving sweets to each other and welcoming the new year.

Diwali also calls for the end of harvest season. Farmers celebrate this occasion with great joy and celebrate it by eating and sharing sweets. It is quite legitimate as no celebration can be completed without sweets. People prefer to share the joy with not only their relatives and friends but also neighbours, work associates servants.

Chocolates are the Best Diwali Gift

Dumping the traditional sweets for chocolates is a good idea for Diwali. Not that the Indian sweets aren't delicious, but since everyone is either making them at home and gifting to others, people can get tired of eating so many sugary sweets. Chocolates on the other hand have a unique taste and most people who enjoy sweets relish their taste. It also comes in different packaging and different flavours. The best part is that all the age groups relish it and there is no way you can go wrong by gifting chocolate.

Research has also proved that eating dark chocolate in moderation is very good for the heart. It helps a person live longer by reducing chances of stroke. Also, helps with issues of memory decline and brain. Thus, it is always a good idea to celebrate with chocolate.

Focus on the Packaging as Well

Don't just buy a handful of different bars of chocolate and bundle them up as gifts; make and effort and decorate the gift properly. Make a chocolate bouquet or pack it a nice and fancy box. A good idea is to decorate the box with craft supplies and attach a note with a Diwali greeting on it.

You can also choose to simply fill the chocolates in a nice gift bag. This would give a good impression and the recipient might feel that you are actually interested in gifting. You could opt to make the chocolates and the box on your own by referring to the umpteen gift wrapping ideas available on the world wide web. This will make the receiver feel special.

Top 10 Chocolate Hampers to Gift Friends and Relatives This Diwali

A Big Box of Ferrero Rocher

We need hardly explain why this is the first and obvious choice. Ferrero Rocher is easily India's favourite chocolate and the next best thing would be a case of bottles of Nutela. Though this delightful hazelnut and chocolate treat is available in a number of different box sizes, we suggest this pack of 24 pieces that weighs 300 gm. Pair it with other chocolates if you wish, but this one's good on it's own. Buy a box for Rs.737 from amazon.in.

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup jaggery powder

Method
  • In a heavy bottom non-stick pot, add the crumbled khoya and jaggery powder and cook on a medium flame until all the jaggery has melted completely and well blended with the khoya mixture. This may take around 5-6 minutes.
  • Add unsweetened cocoa powder and mix well. Cook the mixture for another minute or so and put off the flame. Do not cook for longer, as it may turn hard and chewy and can be difficult to shape.
  • Remove the mixture on a plate to cool down enough to handle.
  • Make six equal balls from the mixture and shape them as diyas. If you are having trouble shaping the diya, it's okay. Just flatten the ball slightly , top with some chopped pistachio and enjoy as chocolate khoya peda.

Plan a Diwali Party for Relatives and Friends

Planning a Diwali party for friends and family is a good idea. It is always fun to celebrate a festival, especially when you have people around you. Thus, start by making a guest list. Check the numbers of the guest and based on that decide on a venue.

While planning a party, the main thing to remember is food. If the food is good, people generally enjoy the party. Thus, book a nice caterer in advance. Diwali is a busy week and it might happen that all the good caterers might be booked. Also, decide on a budget so that you do not overspend.

Also, pay some attention to the decor as well since it is Diwali. So, make sure to have lights and diya everywhere to ignite the vibe of the festival. You could also keep activities like rangoli making and fire cracker bursting to add fun to the party.

Pair chocolates with other gifts

A combination of different items make the best Diwali gifts. It is a time when lots of gifts are being exchanged, many of them being sweets and chocolate. Rather than inundate people with lots of sweet items, create gift hampers with different items such as diyas or candles, home decor items and other Diwali gifts, and slip some chocolate into the mix.
